I was sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. I met Ms. Lucy in the past but its been so many years.I was more familar with Pastor Jean Parker, who have shown her love and concern for all of her loved ones. I pray that the Lord will be with the family as they go through the process of their loss! I encourage all of you "Stay with God"

I will always remember the special times that my family and I shared with Ms. Lucy Bell. She is with her guardian angel sisters who have been watching over us, and they will live in our hearts forever.
